It's that time of year again. Over the next week I'll be sending an email about confirming your desire to return for the 2016 season (or you can save me a step and reply here). The list of players who participated last season is below along with a wait list if you are interested in being involved this year and would like to be on the list to take a spot this season if someone does not return.

14 is expected to be the maximum league size. If we end up with 20+ interested people, we will consider splitting into two leagues.

I think I will pass this year. I like the smaller league format. If you need an extra to complete a second, smaller league, I would be interested. Someone else can have my spot in the 14 team league. Thanks for asking!

Sorry that I've been a little slow on this. Work and life got super busy in August and cost me my projected timeline. Hoping to get emails out to everyone who hasn't confirmed that they're back in later today as well as an email covering draft timing & potential rule updates so I can get this rolling for us.

To those of you who have confirmed, including cardsfaninnwmo who should have a spot, I will get invites out to you shortly.

So if you're an RT regular and are interested in getting in should there be any open spaces, now would be the time to speak up.

We have four open spaces to get us to 12, given guys who have responded. One of the open spots will be taken by my wife, I'll PM cardsfan64 to see if he's interested, but that leaves us 2-3 spots open.

You may have received multiple invites to the league. I screwed something up along the way and had to resend. So make sure you use a later invite rather than one of the newer ones. If you have trouble email or PM me.

I just sent this email to the league, including the survey so we can get draft time sorted out.

I apologize for being lackadaisical on this. I expected to be able to do a lot of setup coordination at work and our clients are not cooperating and are keeping me too busy. I mean, the SEC doesn't really care if you mail and file your shareholder reports on time, right?

Hey guys, here is the link to this season's league survey. Since we changed the number of teams in the league, I've offered up the opportunity to change the number of playoff teams and the option of snake versus auction draft. Ties will stay with the rule from last season.

There are three nights I've put up for draft options. We're up against the gun and I'm learning for next year that I need coordinate this before August gets too busy at work to do it during the day.

Please have your responses in by Thursday. All but two owners have joined the league on ESPN now. Let me know if you didn't get an email.

We also still need two more owners to get us to 12. I don't really like playing with 10 teams. So if you know someone who would be interested in joining us, I'm in first come, first serve mode unless an RT user jumps in wanting to play before I add someone. Get them in touch with me or forward me their email address so I can send them an invite.
